Festae x Midas Hybrid fry!

[Maduro]

A year later and the pair has been living harmoniously with 4 of their offspring. I think they may have topped out on size but everyone seems super chill and healthy

What the hell happened to that one in the back

He was born with a giant lower lip. I call him HotLips. He's full of personality

I hear you about the shock of parents not thrashing fry. In my 40b I have a pair of HRPs with fry that are now half of moms size. Occasionally I will see dad chase one away for his pit but otherwise they live peacefully.

So did they all end up looking like a Midas? What did the other ones end up like?

And then there’s my kribensis…I’m pretty sure my wolf would treat them better than they do.

Yours are the exact same size (or at least growth stage) as my older batch, kinda weird looking at them next to their parents at that size since my pair is like 3.5 and 2.5" respectively, so I'm not used to seeing hrp fry that close in size to their parents yet lol
